OK... I think I posted that I had a girl...We named her CAMBRIA HARLEY. She weighed 8 pounds 14.5 ounces and was 21.5 inches long. She was born on December 22nd at 4:14 am.
I was due on Dec 19th...I went to my Dr. appt on the 21st and was told when the Dr. checked me that I was still 3cm dilated and fully efaced, but that as much as he would like to induce me that he was unable to, due to the fact that the maternity ward was FULL!!! The only way that I was going to have the baby tonight was to come into thee hospital in labor. I had to wait until I was having contractions 4-5 mins apart for 2 hours or more. So I had to go home That was at 5:30 pm. By the time I got home i was having contractions about 15 mins apart and not even real strong. I have been living with my parentsthrough out my PG, so my mom told me that if I started having contractions stronger and closer together then I should wake her up and we would go to the hospital. Well by 12:30 I was having contractions about 6-10 mins apart and they were getting stronger and were all in my back. So, I woke up my mom so she would have time to wake up and not start to panic (she does that real easy ) Well we decided to try and take my mind off it and played cards for alittle bit. By 2:00 am my contractions were 4-5 mins apart andreally strong now. So we decided that wew were not waiting for 2 hours to go to that hospital. So we got ready to go and by 2:30 am as we were on our way to the hospital my contractions were 2-3 mins apart. We got to the hospital and into my room around 3:00 am. The nurses started getting me all hooked up to everything and told me that the Dr. would be there in a little bit to check me. Well by then my contractions were really close and really strong, so I told Denise that she needed to go and tell the nurses that I wanted something for the pain through my I.V. (I'm a wuse, no needles in my back ) Well before she could leave the room I had another contraction and when it was done I looked at her and said "That was weird, it almost felt like I wanted to push" She went and got the nurse and told them that I was having the sensation of wanting to push and they told her that they would be right there to check me. Well before they could even come and check I was wanting to push. So this time Denise told them they HAD to come and check because I wanted to push. Well this got them running...the Dr. hadn't even been in to check me yet. Well when the nurse came in and checked the baby's head was right there, but they told me not to push because I was only dialated to 7.5 cm!! Now the Dr. comes in and everything really starts to happen fast. (they were not quite prepared for things to go so fast ) At this point my water still hadn't even broke yet! Well, I had another contraction and then my water broke and I pushed once and then out she came!!! Surprised everyone when the Dr. says "IT'S A GIRL!!!" I couldn't believe my ears! I was so happy !!! The Dr. and nurses checked her out and got me all cleaned up and were even more surpised that I still only dialated to 7.5 cm and didn't need any stiches! I got very lucky on that one I had to spend 2 days in the hospital (I was group strep b positive) but was able to go home on Christmas Eve (Merry Christmas). My Webpage -------------------- |
